that was a big story because everybody had anticipated that the court would clarify and needed to clarify the extent to which reporters are able to protect their confidential sources. but in the miller case it was a disi ponte -- disappointing nondecision, just a refusal to take the case. the only case that the court has ever decided on this issue was another one that i worked on the losing side of, and that was back in 1972 and involved earl caldwell, a reporter for "the new york times" who covered the black panther party. and did all the times' coverage of the black panther or party. the court in the caldwell case decided that reporters had to appear before a grand jury who were investigating something about the, about the black an they are party -- panther party, and the reporters had to testify like any other citizen would have to testify. and reporters had no first amendment protection against compelled disclosure of their sources. even if that meant that the sources would dry up, not cooperate, and that would ruin a reporter's ability to report to the public what the sources knew. a

big government and big banks have failed us. the crushing weight of the potential markets have yet to be fixed. that has helped to inhibit the ability of the american people to move forward. it is never a failure of the american people. that is not why we are having the difficulties we are having. it is the failure of governments to affect the larger institutions. for a period of time, you are about something that is too big to fail. they already have. they continue to drag down the ability of the american people to move forward. it is a change to actual leadership and a change to bring government into the 21st century, a realization that what has happened on wall street has failed. allow the american people to six those problems and moved forward. for the republicans, everything in the world is moving toward empower you to make more and more of your own decisions. it is what the basis of the free republic is. it is the basis of voluntary community organizations. these are the things that are happening. the only concern people h
